register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Storz Charitable Trust
The Storz Charitable Trust is an independent grant-making charity registered in England and Wales, linked to the Storz family with historical ties to the UK medical sector. It operates as a low-profile, generalist entity with no publicly stated strategic priorities or thematic focus. The Trust prioritises compliance with UK charity law under the stewardship of a small, unremunerated board of three trustees. Its funding character is straightforward: it provides unrestricted and core funding to support the operational needs of UK-registered charities, without restrictions on project types, sectors, or beneficiary groups. This makes it a flexible, no-frills funder for established charities.
What Storz Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds a broad spectrum of general charitable purposes. It supports the operational needs of UK-registered charities through unrestricted and core funding, with no restrictions on project types, sectors, or beneficiary groups. There are no specified causes, programmes, or preferred activities; grants are available for any charitable work that falls within the Trust's general charitable purposes. Charities based anywhere in the UK are eligible, with no income thresholds or regional preferences. The Trust's approach is to provide flexible, general support rather than thematic or project-specific funding.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities. The Trust has no income thresholds, regional preferences, or additional criteria such as religious restrictions. It does not specify any preferred beneficiary groups, so charities working with any population or cause are welcome. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are awarded at the trustees' discretion, so it is suitable for charities that may be identified through the Trust's own networks.
What Storz Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust only funds UK-registered charities. It does not support individuals, non-registered organisations, or other entities. There are no restrictions on the types of charitable causes, projects, or activities it will fund.
How they like to fund
The Trust provides unrestricted and core funding, allowing charities to use the grants for their operational needs. It does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are awarded at the trustees' sole discretion, often through the Trust's own knowledge and networks. The funding is intended to offer flexible, general support rather than ring-fenced project grants.
